Como says Ramon stays this season despite Real Madrid’s buy‑back

Sporting director Carlalberto Ludi said defender Jacobo Ramon will stay at Italian club Como for the rest of the season, even though Real Madrid retain 50 % of his rights and a buy‑back clause, and despite his recent Spain call‑up and the club’s refusal to sell him in the January window.

Ludi made it clear that Como have no intention of losing him during the January transfer window. The defender earned a call‑up to the Spain squad in the ongoing international break. He remains on the radar of Los Blancos. Real Madrid retain 50 % of his rights and an affordable buy‑back clause.

Real Madrid retain rights and interest

Ramon himself played down a possible return, stating: “I swear, I’m not thinking about it.” Como expect him to stay until the end of the season. Speaking to Radio Lo Sport, Ludi said the Spanish giants had not given any indication regarding Jacobo Ramon. Now, Como also appear relaxed about the situation.

Real Madrid are linked with re‑signing Ramon. Ludi revealed that his name surfaced when Como negotiated with Real Madrid for Nico Paz. He added that Real Madrid joked about Jacobo during those talks.

Future options and other suitors

Ludi said it is still too early to know what the future holds for him. He compared the situation with the recurring speculation surrounding Nico Paz, who was repeatedly linked with a return to Real Madrid last year. Ludi noted that every year between November and March rumours emerged that Paz should sign for Real Madrid, but they are lucky to still have him.

Como eventually completed a permanent deal for Paz last summer, paying around €60 million. Ludi believes the arrangement worked well for the Italian club, even though Real Madrid retained a buy‑back option that can be exercised within a specified period during the transfer window.

He said a sale would validate their work and be important for the club. Real Madrid and Como could discuss Ramon’s future in the summer.

Real Madrid remain eager to bring Ramon back, especially with Antonio Rudiger’s contract set to expire at the end of the season. The defender’s performances at Como have attracted interest from other clubs, with Manchester United understood to be among his admirers.

A similar conversation to that of Paz could take place between Como and Real Madrid over Ramon next summer. Ludi did not rule out discussions when the season ends, stressing that any agreement would have to work for everyone involved. He concluded that in due course they will talk and find the best solution for Jacobo and for both clubs.
